SEC Teams are 1-16 as a double digit fav in conference

[jason18]

Um, Jason, you're on a roll and I don't want to slow you, but Georgia has exactly ONE less player in the NFL than UT. UT, UF and UGA are NFL farm teams.

OH YEAH EXACTLY I WAS JUST TRYING TO PROVE A POINT.

Maybe you should look at a little bit more than just the past two seasons...

How far back do you want to go?

2003 5-2
2002 3-4
2001 5-3
2000 4-5

Since 1998 SEC is 31-28 SU and 29-30 ATS in bowl games.

In that same time frame:

ACC 26-22 SU
Big 10 28-24 SU
Big 12 29-30 SU

DRAFTED means nothing...look at the rosters.

Then why does FSU suck the last few years?

[frankb03]

Dude:
All this mythical stuff from the old days is trivial. The CFB press was so biased against southern teams in the old days this holds no merit. Talk about modern day football...the past 50-60 years. I can eat anyone alive with facts about the SEC pre-1950 where they should have won many more titles (or played for them).

Agreed

Dude, I was responding to the one of many blanket statements made by Jason.

SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA. Every team, in every sport is full of THEM.

Why Would Cal And Louisville Be In The Top 5 They Both Lost.

[jason18]

THIS IS WEEK 12 ANYWAY. WHAT A GOON

[frankb03]

Why Would Cal And Louisville Be In The Top 5 They Both Lost.

My guess. Is because they've faced the 2nd and 4th toughest schedule.

[jason18]

i WOULD LOVE TO FINISH THIS LATER BUT NOW I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD TO PLAY WITH.MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER INTELLIGENT SEC GUYS CAN FINISH UP MY LIGHT WORK WHICH IS FRANK.ENJOY

[frankb03]

WHAT A GOON

Seriously, how old are you?

Are you capable of having a conversation without flinging insults?

[frankb03]

i WOULD LOVE TO FINISH THIS LATER BUT NOW I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD TO PLAY WITH.

You're used to debating with a 3 year old. That explains lots.

[jason18]

Actually my 3 year old puts up a better fight than you.i guess he learned it from the best.

[MB17]

FWIW, I'm from SEC country, and I think that the SEC is a tad bit overrated. I still believe that they are the best conference more often than not, but I don't think it's as wide of a margin as some make it out to be.

That being said Frank, I've got two things that I want to add. First, those sagarin ratings actually hurt your argument. I mean, let's get real here. The SEC may be overrated, but who in their right mind believes that the SEC was the FIFTH best conference last year and the SIXTH best conference the year before? Come on now, that's absurd.

Secondly, and I've done this with everyone that brings up bowl records, you have to look deeper than just the record. You have to also see what the matchups were. For example, if you have the SEC #4 going up against another conferences #3and they lose, that's not necessarily a black eye on the SEC. All it means is that the 4th best SEC team isn't better than the 3rd best from another conference.

Now granted, I haven't done the research so the results could very well work out in your favor (ex= SEC #2 losing to another conference's #3) , but I just wanted to point out that when looking at bowl games, you have to dig deeper than just won-loss records.
